Estonian Research Council offers researchers short term study visits to ERC grant holders

Researchers who are interested in applying for ERC grants can apply for support for short term study visits to current ERC grant holders. Estonian Research Council reimburses the costs of a study visit lasting up to seven days. The aim of the visit is to learn from the grant holders how to write successful grant proposals.

The researcher who is planning a study visit should already have vision of one’s own grant proposal which should be submitted in the following two years. Learning from the experience of a current ERC grant holder should help him/her to finalise the proposal.

Applications for study visits can be submitted in Estonian Research Information System (ETIS). To open the application form, please send an email to Mobilitas Pluss consultant Margus Harak (margus.harak@etag.ee). To find the current grant holder to visit you can ask help from the R&D Department of your research institution or from the Estonian Research Council.

The call for applications will be open in ETIS from 15 April until 17:00, 6 May 2019.

Support will be given to at least 5 short term study visits. The costs of the visit will be reimbursed to the applicant’s research institution based on actual expenses after the visit. The approximate cost of one study visit is up to 1500 euros.

The decision to approve or not the study visit applications will be made during October 2018.

In case of a positive funding decision, the applicant has nine months to go to the study visit. Therefore please assess carefully, if the intended visit can be made within this time frame. If not, please apply for the next calls instead – in spring or autumn 2020.

The short term study visits to ERC grant holders are funded by Mobilitas Pluss programme from the budget of the European Development Fund and the Estonian state.
